It is the Chinese New Year's holiday on my side right now.

The bright flowers everywhere in my city, made me think of a poem by Tang Dynasty鐚618-907鐚 poet Du Fu(712?770)-- Jiangpan Dubu Xunhua -- Find the Flowers by the River Alone.

After experiencing a hard time of the war, Du reached Chendu of Sichang finally. Then he found many beautiful flowers by the house of Mrs. Huang Siniang when he was having a walk by the river, so, with a good heart, he wrote this poem.

With the 4 lines, we have seen that a wandering road that was covered by the flowers. The thousand and thousand flowers have bended the branches, playful butterflies are dancing among the flowers and we also heard that the beautiful singings of the free cute birds.

According to the wonderful views in my mind, I created a painting for the poem in July 2008 and in the New Years holiday of 2010, I created another new painting and a piece of music to match the poem. Hope they will help you to understand this poem.
